Have you heard of blood types?
You know how O is accepted by everything, because O has no signatures and the other cells just assume it's one of theirs?
I would think it would be similar- she made no modification to your Nantes, simply making hers mistakable as one of yours to your Nantes.
At least, that's my insane guess.

Did that happen? I forget that happening?
How is that done? Does it deactivate that fail safe?
I wouldn't think she'd be able to mess with my nanites directly
He has a security code. He can't actually do anything with it. It just keeps his nanites and the security nanites from warring with each other. They recognize his nanites as 'friendly'.

ah that works, thanks
so this turns off the failsafe,Hmm what would happen were I to try to deliberately access the system?

It wouldn't do anything. You have a code that identifies you as friendly so it won't activate the failsafe, but your clearance is basically nothing, so only the most basic of functions would work. It might let you access the intercom. Maybe. That's all you're cleared for.

I'm not referring to the code itself giving me access, I'm talkin about class features on both sides (one side of which I don't have yet, but the other side still let's me hack supernaturally well at a touch range)
This is the one I have now
Machine Empathy (Ex): The generator is capable of amazing feats of control when working with mechanical objects and creatures. The character may attempt to cause a piece of machinery or a construct be more amiable to him and function in a way that he chooses, even if the target is unintelligent. By laying his hands upon a machine (which is defined by anything with more than three moving parts or the construct type), he may attempt to influence it as if he were making a Diplomacy check, but instead uses his Knowledge (engineering) instead. The more helpful he makes the machine to him, the more he can manipulate it with his mind, and harmful things tend to jam up or become rendered useless.
I maxed out know (engineering), skill focus, high int, max ranks, class features that boost my bonus further
That all said, I have no plans to use this now. Neither in nor out of character, I just want this cleared up in the event that something comes up

This is what I was referring to. His class abilities may communicate one thing, but his code sends another message. It tells the school nanites to give him so much access and no more. Because it's a dynamic system, no one piece of the security cloud is in contact with him long enough for his ability to override its core programming. And even if he could, that would activate the failsafe before his ability took effect because that would be beyond the access granted by his security code.

Ok, that works,
So the basic systems I can access are as a result of my machine empathy then?
Next question, when my psychic powers unlock and I can access 30ft radious (or was it 15ft radius, i forget and will go check) at once, would that give me more access
Again, just trying to clear this up for future reference.

It might temporarily. Basically you'd get a one time use before Aananda changes the programming again.

Couple of questions:
Which class would be best for Serrin to take in an effort to control her turning into a swarm of shadow bats? I was thinking Meditation, but I suppose there could be something else that fits.
Damni has not posted in some time. If he should return soon, I believe Jerran was looking for people to help with that particular plot? Silinrul could be of help there. So could Ace for that matter, but I think he's too focused in on this killer to want to come and help. Unless things get rapidly out of hand and thus the school, Kuros, etc end up in far more immediate danger.

Yea, I know the suggestion was made for Sil to run into somebody I just couldn't remember who.
Also, just a note, in case I did not mention it beforehand:
My brother has a very old macbook, and when he went to get online the last time to post, an update of his browser was downloaded or available or something.
Anyways, whichever it was, his laptop is too old to run the new browser and thus he can't get online, save for via his Iphone or my laptop.
He's also been working a lot of double shifts at his job, so he often doesn't get home till rather late is usually too tired to do anything other than pass out.

Hey, I have a friend, hasn't even played PF yet, who is interested in this game.
She's thinking of making a Jean Grey/Phoenix type of character, was just asking Lyn whether she is going to be able to make it in.

Thanks for letting me know. That must be one heckuva old MacBook that it can't run Safari anymore. Anyhow, I will just assume his character is there in the background for now.

Has she ever played at all? 3.5 perhaps? I've had some less than stellar experiences trying to teach people the game system, so that is definitely a point of hesitation for me. I'm willing to consider the possibility, but I don't have the ability to completely teach her the game system, so if that's a problem, then it won't work.
I can easily see how a Jean Grey type character could work. Psion (kineticist)/ psion (telepath) being the most obvious combo. The Phoenix force would be nigh impossible to work into the story without massive changes. There are already other things occupying that niche.
